Very expensive for what you get. The shrimp fried rice was bland. The walnuts in the honey walnut shrimp dish tasted off. The spicy dumplings and bun were good. I probably won't eat here again.
I ordered the Spicy Chicken, and I have to say, it certainly lived up to its name—it was definitely spicy! The dish was made fresh, and the service was impressively fast. The portion was so large that I ended up taking half of it home, as shown in the takeout box. The following day, I came back and tried the Mongolian Lamb. It was incredibly tender and overall very delicious.
During our visit, the cashier mistakenly thought we hadn’t paid for our drinks, even though they don’t actually offer Ramune! I observed that food prices have increased, which is understandable; now, the average dish costs around $19 or more. On the bright side, our food arrived very quickly. I ordered my favorite dishes: twice-cooked fish and beef with broccoli. While the twice-cooked fish wasn’t as crispy as I remembered, and the beef and broccoli was slightly sweeter than usual, overall, the meal was still enjoyable, albeit a bit more expensive than I recall.
I loved everything I ordered, but my favorite dish was the stir-fried pork intestines with tofu. The beef with green beans and the spicy pork were also tasty!
Very authentic Asian food. I had the Gen. T’sao’s chicken and it was delicious. There was enough on my plate to have leftovers, so the $10 I spent was definitely worth it for 2 meals. The water was free and no tipping was required so it’s a good deal. Ample parking was available and my friend and I were able to relax, talk, and eat for 2 hours with no problems or interruptions.
